How Cricket Balls Are Made (1956) | British Pathé

[@Stickie111]

For some reason i find this extremely satisfying. Especially the final stitches, its pure perfection! :)

[@Marinar4Sauce]

"A joy to bowler, and batsman alike."

[@LHpitcher44]

Absolute perfection! It's incredible how well-made those cricket balls are, considering they're round objects made by hand!

[@harryingram426]

My grandfather lived in Leigh and made cricket balls more than a hundred years ago

[@AnthonyMEMU]

Ahh, simpler times, before Buzzfeed articles.

[@onecricket3830]

They are really creative...thank you for uploading this video.

[@nmngirl]

[@shaefrr]

[@nightdevil6666]

[@Thebro4]

Wow, impressive technique.

[@drbitboy]

A joy to bowler an batsman alike!

[@ti8966]

[@debashishmandalpsysk544]

I hate cricket but i really appreciate the engineers and makers behind of it.

[@moorua]

Interesting video dude

[@joemurphy5857]

Man those are some damn big crickets.

[@Choiceof3]

It would be great to see a comparison of how they are made today. (if it's not still the same technique)

[@zygmuntthecacaokakistocrat6589]

Everything except the top end ones are made by indentured kids in Bangladesh, who go steadily blind from malnourishment and overwork.

[@DeePunter]

amazing

[@BeenieBomb]

I love this :D

[@VelaAquatics]

I was mislead by the name "Cricket Balls" lol. And the music in the background sounds like Tom & Jerry music.

[@linuxxor]

That was pretty cool.

[@RaveenaSingh95]

I would have never guessed cricket balls were made like this back in the days.

[@johnnydepp1499]

Raveena Singh Me too

[@aalam5747]

[@TheJPomp]

Nice balls!

[@xpwninatorx]

It's like "How It's Made" from the 1950s.

[@hazelanderson1479]

Only without the dumbed-down commentary and cheesy puns.

[@DJURBANBG]

wow,awesome,really !!

[@russellkurt80]

This British Pathe film shows how to make tennis balls: Wimbledon (1961)

[@123fakestreet4]

They are still made much the same way: Kookaburra Cricket Ball Manufacture Video

[@EqualsThreeable]

[@samwilkins6239]

[@PebelWasTaken]

[@crazychadmb]

Great craftsman,hand made=quality!

[@joeyphillips7532]

[@TIAHOE]

And don't forget kids... if you see lava from a volcano coming your way just duck and cover. That's right, just duck and cover.

[@TheBluewasp45]

learn something new everyday i guess

[@patchesdf]

How the heck does a cubed piece of cork form a sphere? They just hammer it into shape?

[@brianrathburn8468]

Charlie Tingly has made cricket balls for 30 years. damn.

[@matildawilson9453]

"in these highly mechanized times..." lol, but interesting

[@brycelei]

And here I am thinking I would've seen a video of insect testicles.

[@Ace_Cabbage]

i didn't even know they had them! that's my amerikkkan public school education, i guess-- well, suppose i'll watch the doc and learn something i didn't know about the reproductive prowess of this beautiful and noble insect!

[@louisaclarkson1243]

When I first read, "cricket balls" I thought it was a way to cook real crickets...

[@Ovicior]

Going to guess these are now mass-produced with machines.

[@bigbad25]

Oh Balls!

[@f4350]

so thats why we call them Cork Balls? Never found a cork in any of the balls we've played though

[@MrUSFT]

This is similar to the way I make my meatballs.

[@limmy_b]

[@jebboceefus553]
